Jonsered 670

Does any one know whats different between the 670, 670 super and 670 west coast? Were they all called champs or just certain models?

I have developed a love for the lovely red saws and have wondered about this issue myself. So far as I can tell, the "champ" label didn't appear on all of the 670's, but I've not seen one without...except one very early model with no label at all! The "super" decal seemed to come and go, while I believe the 'west coast" thing was just a west coast thing, LOL. I bought some parts from an N. Cal dealer that suggested that the west coast saws had the K&N filter and hole in the top cover; this was a special-order thing by his distributor. My dealer in MN could order the same saw but did not have the "west coast" decal. They were not popular in Mn...no way to divert hot air from inside the cover to heat the carb on our mild winter days!

I think I saw a 670 on Ebay a while back that the seller called a "west coast", but had the regular top cover. I think, then, the truth is that all of them are just different labels for the same basic unit.

So now I have to decide what to call mine. West coast is out, Im not there 670 sounds to plain. I will call it a 670 super.

The original Jonsered 670 had a diffrent ignition on it that the 670 super. The "west Coast" model was a K&N version with a full wrap handle. The 670 Champ was a 670 super that was labeled champ for when Jonsered won the world logging championship. Hope that helps

Javelin I will buy that. I dug deep in an old box tonight and found the brosure the old guy gave me on this 670 champ when I bought back in 93 and it tells about that saw winning three years in a row. My saw has the same specs as the 670 super in the chainsaw collectors corner, kinda thought they might be the same saw.
